Data from the wind-power companies notes the deaths at least 85 Golden Eagles and BaldEagles since 1997, with at least 67 of those deaths occurring with in the past five years. It’s worth noting that these numbers are self-reported, so researchers assume that actual death totals are higher.
In addition to killing birds of prey, brodifacoum has also killed coyotes, grey foxes, red foxes, kit foxes, mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, Pacific fishers, and other animals, including domestic dogs and cats.
